Mr. Speaker, I was quite intrigued by my hon. colleague's speech. I would like to put a question back to him.
If we are looking at administrations that have reached out to the Cuban regime and have had a very positive relationship, the Mulroney administration stands out. Under Mr. Mulroney's leadership, relations between Canada and Cuba were quite cordial. In fact, in 1985, Mr. Mulroney enacted the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act. This legislation has been called unprecedented because it made it illegal for firms operating in Canada to comply with any U.S. attempts to destabilize the Castro regime.
This is going much further than this government has done to engage with Cuba. Did my hon. colleague know that and has he any thoughts on it?
